Lets see where this goes

Haha. Step into my office.

How about we start with the classics that everyone should know. I'll go first.

MOVED THIS LINK DOWN BELOW TO MY OTHER POST TO KEEP THINGS TOGETHER.

Can't say I enjoy much black metal, but a recent one that I really have come to enjoy is Deafheaven. Not true kvlt or whatever, but they sound damn awesome.

*I'm going to NSFW all youtube links to save page space*

I like them a lot. Here's a youtube of the full album if anybody wants:
Deafheaven - Roads To Judah


Back on the subject of classics (I'm not going to be strict with a timeline or waves, just what I consider "classics" of the genre)

The Darkthrone album I would have picked is already posted below by fungalattack

Ulver - Bergtatt (One of my all time favourite albums of any genre)

Carpathian Forest - Through Chasm, Caves and Titan Woods (Couldn't find a full album link so here's just song 1)

Gorgoroth - Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam (A lot of people would pick a different album by them - maybe Incipit Satan or Under the Sign of Hell, but whatever. This is probably my favourite Gorgoroth album.)

Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse

Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss (or Filosofem)

Enslaved - Frost

Dissection - Storm of the Light´s Bane

Dimmu Borgir - For All Tid

Immortal - Pure Holocaust

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

Satyricon - Dark Medievil Times (or Nemesis Divina) (Couldn't find a full album link so here's just song 1)

1349 - 1349

Bathory - Bathory

Abigor - Verwüstung – Invoke the Dark Age (Couldn't find a full album link so here's just song 1)

Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon

Ophthalamia - A Journey in Darkness (or Via Dolorosa) (Couldn't find a full album link so here's just song 1)


I could go on for a really long time, but I'll leave it at this for now...

Black funeral!!!!!

but really you cant play black metal without the walnoot

Good picks all round dudes! I really like when black metal went rockish.

And fuck, where is Celtic Frost? Tom Warrior says "uuuggh!" (him and Barney Greenway have the best random grunts ever)

And some modern stuff


And one of my all time favourite songs from a favourite album that I almost never listen to - the album is just too scary. For realz.


And some newer Enslaved


I'm more into death, grind and progressive stuff, but every now and again I dig black.

Ahab is not black genre-wise, but I'll be damned if their atmosphere isn't black.


And speaking of not black, this is epic more deathy than black but whatever


This is slightly more black, and despite the stupid lyrics they are rad


And of course... Deströyer 666 - EPIC! Thrashy!

I'm really REALLY into one man black metal projects.

Leviathan: Summoning Lupine


Striborg: The Epitome of Misanthropy


KTL: Live In Krems


Nekrasov: Disillusion


Gnaw Their Tongues: Broken Fingers Point Upwards In Vein


Craft: Earth a Raging Blaze (2 piece)


Antediluvian: Under Wing of Asael (2 piece bestial black metal, current raining champs for my playlists)

Some more one man stuff:

Mirrorthrone - Gangrene

Old Man's Child - Ill Natured Spiritual Invasion

Ihsahn - AngL

Caina - Temporary Antennae

Gallowbraid - Ashen Eidolon

Surachai - Plague Diagram

Woe - Quietly, Undramatically (Isn't one man any longer but was at the time of this recording, although the remake of this album with a full band I think is better)

Alcest - Écailles De Lune

Ruins of Beverast - Rain upon the Impure

Coldworld - Melancholie²

Forest Silence - Philosophy of Winter

Heretoir - Heretoir

Panopticon - Kentucky

Sombres Forêts - Royaume de Glace

Taake - Noregs Vaapen


Again... I think that's enough for now... I'll leave some for other people, lol.

I'm really torn on Caina. I totally dig how he's infused post rock and black metal, but sometimes it just throws me off But I REALLY like the concept of it. A LOT.

Always loved this album overlooked gem from the 90s Whole album :

Been liking a lot of the newer American stuff recently. It's farther removed from some of the more unsavory aspects of the second-wave stuff, i.e. nazism and general fuckery. I think the music of Burzum is incredibly original and genre-defining, but its hard for me to listen to sometimes because of what I know about Varg Vikernes.

Filosofem is a kickass album though. So harsh and unforgiving.

Ash Borer-


Wolves In The Throne Room-


Xasthur (even his most recent stuff)-


Here's a bit of Iranian black metal that is so fierce and heavy that I can hardly listen to it all the way through sometimes.

Halla-


Nortt is probably one of my favorite acts ever in the genre. He mixes black metal and a funereal sense of doom together into a slow morbid crawl. His first demo is my favorite of his, with absolutely hellish screeching guitars blaring over synths and apathetic drums with really stark synth melodies. He's got these vocals that sound like a dying dragon trying to breath fire...\m/

LISTEN TO IT HERE

Nortt-

Bathory! I bought "The Return of Darkness and Evil" when I was a kid because I thought the font an cover were cool. That dude has been arond forever... Scared the crap outta me when I first heard it. Haha Venom was the same way. Those were the days...

Under the sign of the black mark is still the blackest of all black in my opinion!
